It was around long before this movie, just not in Hollywood Knights form.

I've seen bits and pieces of this on YouTube, that '57 is a bit more of a mild custom.

The car is a Traxxas "1/16" Ford Fiesta (now discontinued, but shares 95% of it's parts with the "1/16" Slash 4x4), using a Proline Baja Bug body for the 1/16 E-Revo (same chassis, different suspension parts), then the rolling stock is from HPI Racing's line of Vintage Trans Am wheels, tires, and bodies with all 4 being 1.9" tall rims then the fronts are 26mm wide and the rears are 31mm wide.

Don't know why, but the R32's are the only Skylines I really like.

Ouch!

I know it's an R/C, but here's one I did this summer. The Baja Bug body is made for the truck version of this platform and had full fenders, so I had to chop the fronts off and bob the rears some.

One if these in white with goofy looking, oversized aftermarket rims on a local used car lot. Other than the rims, it looks straight out of an old lady's garage.

Could be another homebuilt racecar.

Is that a UFO or some sort of multi rotor R/C?

Well, at least that Taurus is FWD, that truck is having a hard enough time keeping the front end down as it is, if that car was RWD or mid or rear engine..........

Here's a Corvair P/U vs Econoline P/U dealer film.

It's more like the AMT kits of old, engine and trans fit into a promo style chassis.

Finally got my hair cut today, been needing to get it done for the last couple months but haven't had the time. I had been starting to look like that old pic of me in my avitar again!

Kinda wishing that first one had been left alone, not digging that build style

Because it's now owned by a guy in California that's old enough to remember cars like this being build for the cars shows back in the 60's, and appreciates them!

I agree with Kalbert, this guy gets it, and get's it in spades at that! It screams early 60's show rod and I wouldn't be surprised if the builder is even 50 years of age himself.

Made sense to me, but Dad has actually talked about going into the store when he and Mom lived here in the early 70's. The building was big enough to have two entrances and had the entrance on one street that had one name then the entrance on another street had the other name. No matter which entrance you walked in, you were in the same store!

My allergies!!!!!!!!!! My sinuses are draining, causing lung congestion, and I occasionally have issues trying to sleep because I spend half the night coughing! Tried to sleep last night and ended up waking up at 2:45am with a coughing fit.

I've run across a pump with one of those boots on if one time when filling my 200, couldn't keep it in the filler neck without a fight.

The guy who built that blue one pops up on Counting Cars from time to time, seems like he's gotten to be friends with Danny (the owner of Count's Customs.)

Seems like they're just proof that the whole phone causing a gas station to explode is just BS.

I forgot, there was an orange drop top one I saw on lunch today!

How about the newest from Ford, it's under the typical doors, but there is no factory installed cap, although Ford does offer a locking cap for those who are afraid their gas gets stolen and/or aren't afraid to get the smell of the fuel of their choice on their hands.....

I think the store is now called J.C. Whitney's now too. I actually caught a glimpse while pulling out of the driveway the other night of a previous generation Nissan Altima that kinda looked that way, then it had one of those "adjustable" elevated wings attached to the stock spoiler that rises a few inches off the decklid. I actually sat in the driveway wondering if I actually saw it!

Reminds me of some of the pulling trucks from the 80's!
